To the west of the funeral parlor in the TZ district of JH City, there is a self-built building community.

Lu Changqing's cousin, Lu Xiaojie, lives in this community.

When Lu Chengsheng drove the car into the community, bursts of mourning music had already resounded in the sky, but there was a little less sadness...

In this day and age, family members generally want to hire a band after death.

The band in question is not a bar band.

It's a group of middle-aged and elderly people who specialize in white things.

Their main responsibility is... Singing, dancing, and playing the keyboard happily.

Therefore, this mournful music is very strange with some out of place modern songs.

Although they are distant relatives, TZ people have a very clear memory of each relative.

At the same time, TZ people also pay great attention to courtesy and exchanges, and will not bother others with nothing to do.

No, when Lu Changqing's family got out of the car, a large group of seven aunts and eight aunts whose names Lu Changqing couldn't name all rushed over.

While putting on white linen for their family, they greeted them warmly.

After a circle, Lu Changqing himself was stunned.

There are so many relatives that he can't remember how many times he called grandpa, how many times grandma, how many times uncle...

After finding a gap, after Lu Changqing dispersed a large circle of smoke, he was able to escape from the encirclement of these enthusiastic relatives and walked towards the location of the mourning hall.

The layout of the mourning hall is actually very simple.

A square table filled with all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, as well as a large incense burner.

Across the table are black-and-white photographs of the deceased.

Behind the photo is a giant white wreath.

Lu Xiaojie's wife was lying peacefully in the crystal coffin behind the wreath at this time.

Next to the crystal coffin, Lu Xiaojie, who was as strong as a cow, was staring at the tiger's eyes, looking at his pale wife in the coffin with a red paper in her mouth without blinking.

From his bloodshot eyes, it was not difficult to tell that he had not rested for a long time.

Lu Changqing sighed slightly and slowly sat down beside Lu Xiaojie.

Lu Xiaojie didn't react from beginning to end, as if he didn't notice that there was an extra person on the bench he was sitting on.

"Brother... Let's smoke a cigarette. ”

Lu Changqing nudged him lightly, and at the same time handed over a cigarette that had been lit.

In a man's world.

Smoking is not necessarily a hobby, but more of a way to release stress.

Lu Xiaojie twisted his neck with difficulty, accompanied by a crisp sound of "click" bones, it is not difficult to see that he has maintained this posture for a long time.

With a slight tremor in his left hand, he took the cigarette handed over by Lu Changqing and took a hard puff.

In an instant, a thick, slightly yellowish smoke wafted up.

It is not difficult to see that he has accumulated too much resentment at this time...

"Changqing, thank you for coming..."

Lu Xiaojie reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and his hoarse voice didn't look like a human being could make a sound.

"Ahem... Ahem!!"

It seemed that he hadn't spoken for too long, and before he could finish a complete sentence, he coughed violently.

"Poof~~~!"

Suddenly, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Lu Xiaojie's mouth, and the coughing sound was accompanied by blood spots, splashing on the lid of the crystal coffin.

As the cough intensified, more and more blood spots were splattered on the lid of the crystal coffin.

Lu Xiaojie stood up violently as if he was crazy.

It seems that he has been sitting for so long that he fell to the ground as soon as he stood up.

"Lingling, I'm sorry!! cough... Ahem·· I'm sorry!!~~~ I'll wipe it clean for you, cough·· Ahem·· ~~ I'll wipe you clean!!"

Lu Xiaojie coughed violently while crying.

Lying on the lid of the crystal coffin, he kept wiping the blood with the snow-white linen clothes.

It's just that the blood is rubbing more and more...

Lu Changqing didn't stop him, let alone help him, just let him go crazy while coughing up blood.

The white linen clothes were stained with blood, and the atmosphere of this mourning hall revealed an indescribable horror.

But Lu Changqing still watched so calmly.

He knew that if Lu Xiaojie continued like this, he would inevitably die of anger.

But he knew that if Lu Xiaojie couldn't vent, then after he left, Lu Xiaojie would be even more miserable!

It can be seen from the faint shimmering green light.

Actually, it's not that Lu Changqing didn't do nothing...

About ten minutes later, Lu Xiaojie eased up.

Although the state is still not good, at least the godless eyes have a little light.

Fortunately, it is already a meal, and there are only two people in the mourning hall, Lu Changqing and Lu Xiaojie.

Otherwise, Lu Xiaojie's actions would have been dragged out and sent to the hospital long ago.

"Brother, are you better?"

Lu Changqing waved his hand, dispersed the wood-based elements, and handed Lu Xiaojie a lit cigarette again.

Sometimes, conversations between men are as simple as that.

There is no excessive comfort, and there is not much persuasion.

Because, what the other party needs may only be self-venting.

"Thank you, Changqing, I'm much better..."

Lu Xiaojie reluctantly squeezed out a smile at Lu Changqing, and smoked a cigarette silently.

The whole mourning hall was quiet again, except for the two slowly rising wisps of smoke.

···

The woman in the coffin was about 1.6 meters.

It's not beautiful, but it has a quiet and gentle temperament.

Even though she has died, it can still be seen that the woman must have been a gentle, virtuous and knowledgeable wife before her death.

It's just that life is long, and accidents always happen unexpectedly.

"Brother, can you tell me about your sister-in-law?"

Lu Changqing sighed slightly and asked in a low voice.

At the mention of his wife, Lu Xiaojie showed a rare smile.

Gently looking at his wife in the crystal coffin, he muttered

"Lingling is a very gentle girl. ”

"It's funny, too. ”

"The place where I met her, and the place where I was about to send her off..."

"I remember when my grandfather died, I accompanied my grandfather to the funeral home. ”

"Outside the cremation pool, I met Lingling. ”

"At that time, she came with her grandmother. ”

When her grandmother sent her to the cremation pool, Lingling cried miserably. ”

"Hehe, I stupidly walked over and handed her a tissue. ”

"Who knows, the spirit that cried pear blossoms and rain pounced on me like that. ”

"At that time, I remember that even my clothes were wet from her crying. ”

"Later... We're in love..."

"Lingling doesn't like that I buy her things all the time. ”

She said that love is mutual, and only when each other gives relative love can such feelings last. ”

"She said, thank you for accommodating her so much, hurting her..."

"Woo woo~~~~ She also said that she would accompany me to old age... Woo woo~~ She wants to accompany me to old age!!"

Lu Xiaojie grabbed his hair with both hands and buried his head very low...

Very low...

After a long while, he continued to choke

"We got married. ”

"After getting married, she was more economical. ”

"She didn't want to buy cosmetics or go to the places we used to go when we were in love. ”

"She said she was going to save money to give our future baby flowers..."

"She would keep asking me if I would dislike her when she got old. ”

"No!!No!!I love Lingling, I won't dislike her !!"

As he spoke, Lu Xiaojie grabbed his hair and shook his head desperately.

It seems that these words are being addressed to the spirit who is lying peacefully in the crystal coffin.

After listening to Lu Xiaojie's story, Lu Changqing quietly wiped his slightly moist eyes.

Because, he remembered his girl...

If, one day, the girl leaves herself, what will happen to herself?

Maybe... It's going to be crazier than Lu Xiaojie...

Sighing softly, Lu Changqing patted Lu Xiaojie's shoulder, looked at the sister-in-law in the crystal coffin, and said solemnly

"Brother, I'll avenge my sister-in-law..."

Revenge?

Lu Changqing had already discovered just now that the real cause of his sister-in-law's death was not being hit by a car.

Rather...

Died, organ failure!

At this moment, Lu Changqing's hatred for the people who spread the virus soared into the sky!

He silently swore that he would make the people who secretly manipulated all this pay countless times the price!

Never die!

Ignored Lu Xiaojie's puzzled gaze.

Lu Changqing put the whole pack of cigarettes in his hand and walked out.

He couldn't stand this kind of parting scene of life and death.

It will make him miss the girl even more...

···

"Bang!"

"! you poor!"

"Isn't it just to get more money!"

"Grass! Now go to the police station with labor and management to write a letter of understanding! How much does labor and management pay you poor!"

"If you dare to continue to make trouble! Labor and management will let your family die today!"

Just as Lu Changqing was about to leave the mourning hall.

A shirtless, red-faced, and alcohol-soothing man of about 30 years old with a flat head slapped on the offering table, scolding a poor cub.

With this slap, the incense burner fell to the ground.

When Lu Xiaojie in the mourning hall saw this scene, his eyes turned red in an instant, and he roared angrily towards the man like crazy.

"Ah!!h

Facing Lu Xiaojie, who was so angry that he almost lost his mind, the man didn't seem to care.

A touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he instantly pulled out a fruit knife from his waist, and stabbed Lu Xiaojie who rushed over...

At this time, with the man's commotion, a lot of people had gathered outside the mourning hall.

When the man took out the fruit knife, Lu Chengsheng and several other relatives ran quickly towards the mourning hall.

However, it is obviously too late to stop it...

Just as the man showed a cruel smile, the expected thing did not happen.

Just listen to the crisp sound of "ding~!".

The fruit knife snapped.

At this time, Lu Changqing was holding the blade of the fruit knife with a cold face.

The man opened his mouth wide in disbelief, looked at the handle of the knife in his hand in disbelief, and then looked at the blade in Lu Changqing's hand.

I just wanted to say something.

It's just that before he could react, Lu Xiaojie, who was like a bull, had already appeared beside him.

"Bang!"

With a strong impact, the man was knocked out several meters.

At the same time as landing, it rolled several times due to inertia.

For a while, nosebleeds were splattered everywhere.

There are even several broken teeth in the mouth.
